trying to change the default icon for "my pictures

Recommended Posts

i set d:\incoming to be the "my pictures" special folder -

however now whenever i access it or see it in explorer or anywhere the icon is the **** "my pictures" icon.

i know there's gotta be a registry hack to define what icon ties to what... or something.

or maybe a program that can alter it and i can regsnap it or compare the registry before/after?

any help or leads is appreciated; thanks.

Go to tools > Folder Options > view tab. uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files'. You will see a file called desktop.ini inside my documents, my pictures, my music...

Desktop.ini from My Pictures:

[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12688
IconFile=%Systemroot%\system32\mydocs.dll
IconIndex=-101

Change Iconfile to the path of your icon.

Set IconIndex to 0 if IconFile points to an .ico file. Set it to the proper index of the icon if you are using a DLL or other icon library file.
